REQUIREMENTS BASED STATIC CLASS DIAGRAM CONSTRUCTOR (SCDC) CASE TOOL

Abstract

Object-Oriented development methodology is currently the main trend in software industry. Many tools were introduced to aid in the analysis and design phases of the object-oriented development methodology. However, tools that can aid in the requirements phase of the object-oriented development methodology and that can generate class diagrams as a major step in the design phase have attracted little attention and efforts. This paper introduces a tool to automate the process of constructing a static class diagram from software requirements. The CASE tool takes the static class diagram a step further and generates a skeleton code for popular object-oriented languages.
